Indeed, after we got the timing right, and the carburetor good and clean, the car had quite a punch.
Well, after the "testing" stage was done, and the car didn't fall apart during the shake down, It was time for me to start the voyage to my parents house 92 kilometers away.
The day started early, checking everything from the night before
first stop, was take one of the wheels that was leaking to the tire shop to get it fixed.
another quick fix in place for the fuel cap, I had to break the actual fuel cap since I didn't had the key to open it, and after I broke it, I had to made a plug with the first thing that I had in hand.
and we where ready to got!... well not quite, the car didn't wanted to start, so a quick jump and it was runing
my view from my command center for the next hours
and off we go!
my look from another car, given that I didn't have any windshield I had to wear a lot of clothes due to the cold
first stop, fill the tank (you can also see my friends lovely Civic EF)
my friend in the civic was the backup/chase car (and the one in which we will return home)
the car was working quite flawlessly through the trip, and we made a stop half way, to check the tires and everything else, all was good and while I checked the tire pressure found out that two of them had 51psi and another had 53psi! I lowered them to something more reasonable, and returned to the road... just to stop a few meters after with a non runing engine
the issue turned out to be (again) the filter on the carburetor that got clogged and starved the carb. So I dismanteled the carb, cleaned the internal filter, and we continue with the trip
just eating miles
the second part of the trip was, without any other issue and we arrived to my parents house, where we parked the car and started to take it apart.
and another video with all the trip, enjoy
see you next update.
